sonder

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Is twitch creative becoming a billboard?

Creative section on twitch launched this month and with it we’ve seen an influx of new artists. But with large companies zeroing in on the platform what will happen to the little freelancer or singular artist? 

With companies like  "instapainting“ on creative I fear that this safe place for artists will become a billboard for corporations. “Lets try something cool to hook them in”, seems to be the way this company is going. Take a look at this twitch.tv page: 

Its obvious that this is a tactical way for a company to sell their product. There is no way 100+ chat people can create anything. But get them on the board so that someone will click over and get whatever product “instapainting” has is worth it to a company just trying to make a sale. If you take a look at the site instapainting has its the exact opposite of what Creative has to offer.  Creative is a place for artist and fans to connect. The heart of creative is for the creator to connect and share their passions. If its painting, sculpting, pipe-cleaner arts or even cooking. They are there to connect to the chat, not just sell a product. 

At least with the Adobe people they have the decency to have the individual artist on to showcase the product. They have even introduced traditional art to the digital masses. (see @quinnsimoesart here live on the adobe channel)

This is just my, a singular artists, opinion. What do you think?  Will twitch’s creative platform become a place for larger companies to sell themselves? Do YOU see creative being a place for the singular artist still?

REALLY IMPORTANT - NEW PAYPAL UPDATE - PLEASE READ

THIS NEEDS A HELLA SIGNAL BOOST - PLEASE SPREAD THIS UP

EVERYONE needs to start using Invoices. This is very important. Paypal has recently updated their TOS and it’s something that everyone should pay attention to. “10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.” DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS AS “GIFTS” You will be risking your commissioners account and that is really really bad. Artists, REQUEST PAYMENT THROUGH INVOICES. It lets YOU control how money is sent. Commissioners, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT unless you send it through “for goods and services.” If your artist requests ‘send as gifts’ BEFORE you send payment, tell them about the $2,500 fine per violation, as they probably do not know about it. Yes, paypal fees suck, but it’s better to have a few dollars missing than to get fined $2,500 for a $20 purchase.

[behaxeltzi]

This is really important! And yeah the fees suck, but it’s actually ILLEGAL to select “gifts” if you are actually paying for a service because of tax, like wise it is always illegal to accept payment that way.  Please if you are a freelance artist taking commissions  ALWAYS SEND AN INVOICE! It can cover your ass in more ways than one, and you know actually makes it easier to keep track of things anyway.

Did you know that Hoshi-Hana was created in 2009 and is therefore 6 years old in human age?

Something a little more personal.

Since my move to California, there had been a lot of self-doubt about my level of talent and whether or not I should have made the choices I’ve made leading up to this point. As I’ve said in this, even when it seems as though everything’s not going well, life has a way of turning things around when you work hard enough to make that happen.

Even though what I’m saying is pretty much general knowledge, I made this more for myself than anyone else…but it’s something I hope someone could look at now and later. To remind themselves of their potential, whether they believe they have it or not. I myself still have a ways to go, but I continue creating art and remaining more hopeful than ever.

[technologicme]

Reblogging because I need to remind myself of this again. Means a lot to me that I’m not alone in having these feelings <3
